On this episode I talk about new music from Craig Finn and Iron Maiden, then go into detail on five songs with which I've recently reconnected. I also talk about pro-wrestling, the Big Bang Theory, and Dirk Gently.  Then I end the show on a personal note with a tribute to a friend who passed away a few years ago.  It's a long one, but I'd like to think it's a good one!  Thanks for listening!
